But not this blog. (ok, maybe one picture....what? I couldnt pass up such a yummy picture!)
Obviously I am a giant foodie. I have had a love affair with food for as long as I can remember. Every taste, every combination, every way of preparation....I just cant seem to ever have enough. Now Im not a giant blob on the couch eating my way through I giant bag of lays potato chips....but I have packed on a few extra lbs that Im not very happy with and I decided that this week I was going to shape up!
So starting on Monday I changed what I was putting into my body and to be honest...Im freaking tired! I dont know if its the lack of sugar Im craving, or the fats and salts. Probably both. I have been eating some very yummy salads like this one:

| Blue Cheese, Strawberry, and Walnut Salad |
Along with this salad, I have also been eating a lot of greek yogurt :) yummy! And I have to say that my new favorite greek yogurt is apple Cinnamon. Super satisfying, delicious, and oh so good for you! Mmm hmm
My morning meals consist of a organic, clean oatmeal that you can find in the frozen section of HEB. Also very yummy if I may add.
So far so good. And its getting a little easier everyday. The hardest part is planning my meals and packing them. I dont feel I can have any kind of success if I dont plan. I am a creature of impulsive eating. If its there and it tastes good then I will eat it. (Probably the reason Ive gained some weight!)
Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love my curves. Always had them, wouldnt know what to do without them. In fact, I would never wish being flat and curveless upon anyone! No way ;) But I wanna tame these curves, lol!
